hi, been searching threads for ages but cant find an answer to problem I ha d today with my 2004 defender 110 td5- tried to start it and nothing, normal lights came up on dash but nothing else,not even click from solenoid.tried wiggling wires to crankshaft position sensor, but again nothing. put car into gear and pushed it a touch and hey presto, it started.is it possible for the crankshaft to be in very slightly the wrong position for sensor to allow starting, or am I barking up the wrong tree. I have in the past had a misfire in wet weather and put this down to moisture getting into wiring of cps. anyone with any ideas?

encourage it wiv a number one persuasion tool!
one must be more refined when one gives advice to the forums members
thanks for your help, but I'm still confused- will a dirty/ defective cps stop the ecu from allowing the starter to engage?. I did consider the starter motor playing up, but it is quite new, then again I did have a slave cylinder failure a little while back- is it possible fluid from that has got to the starter and cause it to stick, but should I still hear a click from the solenoid.how easy/ difficult is it to change the cps-don't look easy, I can only just see it!

You won't hear a click from the solenoid if the solenoid doesn't go click cos it isn't working.

if solenoid doesnt click then either wires off or bad connection or relay isnt working
I might start with checking the Ignition relays . and see if they are engaging when you turn the key , and then work from the relay to the solinoid on the starter motor to see if you got 12v when you turn the key ,, Haynes has alot of Circuit Diagrams in the book so you should be able to trace the colour coded wires,
